The whole family is invited to a benefit Saturday to raise money for the family of 9-year-old Holly Huynh Berry, who died in a car crash last November, and her grandmother, Suzanne, who is still recovering from injuries sustained from the crash.
The last time Dale Homnick saw Holly Huynh Berry, she was only an infant bopping along in a baby bouncer. Even though it had been years since he was in the same room with her, Holly's death from a car crash on Nov. 21 still hit Homnick hard. "It was horrible," Homnick said. "I have three kids of my own, I can't imagine what it would be like if something took them away. Their lives are changed forever." As a tribute to Holly, and an effort to raise money for the conitued care and support of her grandmother, Suzanne, who has been hospitalized with brain injuries since the accident, Homnick has helped organize a fundraiser benefit for the Berry family. "The money will go directly to the family," Homnick said. "The Berrys are not ones to ask …

Firefighters, cops and medics from around Central Bucks had worked together in concert to save the driver's life.
They labored for an hour to cut her free from the twisted metal. A medic crouched in her crumpled back seat and talked to her while the rescue equipment whined and screamed as they bit through the trunk of the car. As car crashes go, this one looked horrific. As extrications go, this was a long one. As rescues go, maybe it was a miracle. On Monday, the emergency rescuers who crafted that miracle were lauded for their work on Doylestown's Swamp Road on March 27.

So I quickly pulled aside to allow him to pass and get to his emergency when I noticed he was pulling me over. He acted as if I was transporting something illegal and asking … more ›
